　　Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you. Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by. Friendship doubles your joy and divides your sorrow. A friendship is priceless and should be developed.

　　·Remembering the golden rule

　　Without a doubt，the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated. When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship，you'll be blessed in untold ways.

　　Whatever the cause of others' rudeness，you don't have to accentuate(突出) the problem. A kind word or a gentle，understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would.

　　·Considering enemies as friends

　　A friend looks after your own good. On the other hand，a foe(敌人) is someone who isn't interested in your well­being.

　　Yet some students view their teachers as enemies. However，a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom. Instead of being an enemy，a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had.

　　So change this kind of thinking and adjust yourself a little，and both of you are better off.

　　·Making friends by being an optimist

　　Do you enjoy being around a pessimist，someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it？The answer is obvious. Most people have a preference for being around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today，rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday.

　　·Capturing the pleasing personality

　　How do you develop a pleasing personality？Here are some steps you can take：

　　Smile when you see someone. You don't have to give a wide grin-just a pleasant，friendly smile.

　　Speak in a pleasant，upbeat tone of voice. Talk to people as if they are good friends，even if they don't really fall into that category yet.

Take a course in public speaking. The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention
